New Nintendo console might be shown this E3
Successor to the Wii might be in your hands soon, that’s what Game Informer say. It will be a HD console, which should take Mario and Zelda into the world of high definition. But the recent slow 3DS sales might have put a dent in Nintendo’s plan a bit, because its will be tough for them to sustain two consoles.
The price drop of Wii to $150 might have given a slight clue that Nintendo wants to sell as many Wii units as possible before the new consoles hit. Nintendo have always relied on a gimmick to push their consoles, will it be same this time? Well E3 2011 may have all the answers. This is what Gameinformer says:
We have confirmed with multiple sources that this new home system is capable of running games at HD resolutions. There are conflicting reports, however, as to whether its graphics will be comparable to those on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 – meaning it could surpass or fall short of those systems. Either way it will offer competitive specifications. Moving to HD should greatly help Nintendo and its new console in getting more multi-platform triple-A titles like Portal 2 or Mortal Kombat. This, in turn, will strengthen Nintendo’s historically poor relationship with third-party publishers/developers.
In fact, Nintendo is already showing publishers the system in an effort to get them interested and allow them plenty of time to start developing titles in anticipation of the system’s reported late 2012 launch. This advance support marks a change from when the Wii launched. At that time, several Western publishers were outright surprised by the announcement, and it affected the software support for the platform.
This announcement should be great if the specifications are high, and we would love a new controller system with the new consoles. What do you think? Please tell us in the comments section below.
